Event Info

"Many people are asking that I should come back". Fresh from launching his own political party, the All Pakistan Muslim League, in June this year, and expressing his desire to re-enter the turbulent world of Pakistani politics, former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf, a Londoner since 2008, will appear in conversation with Sir Christopher Meyer for Intelligence Squared this September.

Musharraf hasn't always been so pally with the West. When he came to power in a military coup in 1999 he was shunned by many as a dictator. And his tenure in what TIME Magazine described as “the most dangerous job in the world” was not without its difficulties.

He had to face the escalation of hostilities with India over Kashmir, which brought the two countries to the brink of war in 2002, a 2005 earthquake that killed over 73,000, the threat posed by the AQ Khan nuclear proliferation network and two assassination attempts on his life.

Come to this IQ² World Leaders event to hear Musharraf's side of the story and for an opportunity to ask him a question.
